About the CIC Summit

The California Immunization Coalition Summit is our state’s premier event for clinicians, healthcare professionals, and public health advocates to learn about the latest information on vaccine preventable diseases and communication strategies for maintaining and improving vaccination rates in California and beyond. The Summit is a great opportunity to engage with fellow professionals in the fields of public health, epidemiology, infectious disease, pharmacy, and school health programs, to receive updates and develop collaborations for the future.

The CIC Summit brings together a wide range of speakers and immunization partners from across CA and across the country, to share ideas, discuss issues and identify partnerships that will support the mission of improved immunization rates for all Californians.

The 2025 Summit – Building Trust: Strengthening Vaccine Confidence in Our Community will showcase speakers, expert panels, workshops, and opportunities for discussion with leading figures in immunization and healthcare advocacy throughout California. We’re excited to collaborate with colleagues and forge new partnerships to enhance vaccination rates in California.

2025 CIC Summit Agenda

The 2025 California Immunization Coalition Summit will focus on how we use evidence-based data and facts to develop our strategies for reaching our communities and how we can work strategically to build vaccine confidence. Presentations will include updates from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and other state organizations and local leaders to learn about best practices for improved advocacy and awareness for California’s immunization programs.
 
Your attendance at this statewide event helps to expand your knowledge about immunization issues and communication strategies and will help you connect with public health colleagues and private sector representatives while also helping us to expand our Coalition network and identify partnerships that enable us to educate and support our communities.  The Summit is a terrific opportunity to renew our collective vision to make access to vaccinations and disease prevention a reality for all Californians. We  have missed meeting with you!  
 

2025 Summit Objectives:

  • Disseminate innovative approaches to promote and deliver immunizations to all communities across the lifespan
  • Provide support and technical assistance to enhance existing education, communication, and outreach efforts
